Join us in the Lockwood Lab at UVM!
The University of Vermont offers a vibrant scientific community with a strong PhD program. In addition, UVM is located in Burlington, Vermont where you can enjoy an amazing quality of life. Burlington is a hip, little city surrounded by the lakes and mountains of northern Vermont. The area thrives on local food, international culture, and outdoor activities year-round.
Prospective Graduate Students:
Open PhD positions in Evolutionary Genomics, Ecological Physiology, and Molecular Evolution
I am seeking energetic and motivated graduate students with an interest in evolutionary genomics, ecological physiology and molecular evolution. Students will have the opportunity to participate in an Australian Research Council-funded project to study the physiology and genomics of invasive marine mussels (Mytlius spp.) in Australia and/or a National Science Foundation-funded project to study the genomics and physiology of thermal adaptation in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). Students will be expected to develop their own dissertation project that reflects their own interests, within the overall goals of these funded projects. This is a unique opportunity to be involved in work that is highly integrative and will bring together a diversity of tools to elucidate mechanisms of environmental adaptation. Thus, students will have the opportunity to gain valuable training in genomic mapping, transcriptomics, protein biochemistry, and confocal fluorescence microscopy.
See our work on thermal physiology in marine mussels here and here. See our work on thermal adaptation and physiology in fruit flies here and here.
Summer support will be provided for four years; funding during the academic year will be in the form of teaching fellowships. Admission to the PhD program will be for Fall 2023.
Successful candidates will have strong academic records, meaningful previous research experience, and strong interests in evolutionary genetics, genomics, and ecological physiology.
Please send an email if you are interested. Please include a CV, description of your background, and why you feel you are a good fit for the Lockwood Lab.
Applications are currently being accepted. The application to the graduate program at University of Vermont can be found here. The deadline to apply for Fall 2023 is December 15, 2022.
